In reality I do respect my own financial needs: I am happiest when I live in a very modest way.

- vpeters25 12y agoMy point of view is you should ask for the value you provide your employer, not just your financial needs. In my case the value I provide is 3+ times my financial needs so that's what I ask and they happily pay based on the quality of my services. The rest goes to fund my retirement fund and pay off the remaining debts from that crazy dot-com era (strippers and booze, fun times)
- meric 12y agoWould you donate $10,000 to a random business off the street to help them out? Because that's all they will be once you leave that company. I suggest offering to take more options in lieu of cash if you want to help the company hire more people. If the company can't survive paying you a market salary that is due you, it doesn't deserve to survive at all. You are important, don't sell yourself short.
